Your Painting Questions, Answered

Choose a question below, or contact us with the artwork and size you are considering. For an order already in progress, open My Painting from your order email or account.

Is my painting really painted by hand?
Yes. Our oil paintings are made with oil paint on canvas. The artist builds the work through drawing, mixed color and brushwork. You review photographs of your actual completed canvas before shipping. Room mockups and reference images are separate from those finished photographs.
Can you paint from my photograph?
Choose Paint My Photo for people, pets, houses and landscapes. Upload a clear main photo and any useful supporting references. Choose the subject count, background and optional photo combination to see your price, then order online. You can ask a question first if you prefer.
Will the painting look exactly like the reference?
The reference guides the subject and composition. A hand-painted interpretation has its own brushwork and small variations. Tell us which features, colors and details must remain recognizable; agree major changes before work begins.
Can I choose a custom size and frame?
Yes. Use the product’s size and finish options to compare available configurations. Enter custom dimensions in cm or inches. Very large canvases, unusual proportions or a frame beyond its making limit need confirmation before payment.
Is shipping included?
Yes. Every painting price includes shipping, whether you choose rolled, stretched or framed. We deliver to the destinations available at checkout. Optional import-duty coverage and local taxes are separate.
How does payment work?
Choose full payment or a 30% deposit at checkout. The confirmed total includes the configured artwork, delivery and applicable taxes. The remaining balance opens after you approve the current finished painting photographs.
What happens if I would like an adjustment?
Use your painting page to describe the changes you want before approving the finished photographs. Changes within the agreed brief are reviewed with the artist. A new subject, composition or size may require a revised quotation before more work begins.
How long does a painting take?
Production depends on the subject, size, detail, current schedule and drying time. Ask us to confirm timing before ordering, especially for a gift or installation. Production and shipping are separate stages.
What does the room preview show?
It shows approximate size, composition and frame placement. It cannot reproduce the texture or exact color of oil paint, and it does not replace measuring your wall. On photo commissions it shows your reference layout, not a completed painting.
Will you publish my photographs?
Reference images supplied for a commission are used to discuss and make that painting. Ask about portfolio use separately; a public case study should only be published with permission. Please send images that you are entitled to use.
Are master reproductions original works by the named master?
They are new hand-painted reproductions or interpretations, identified as such. An artist’s historical name describes the reference or inspiration; it does not identify the painter of your newly commissioned canvas.
Do you deliver to my country?
Shipping is included for every painting we deliver. Check delivery availability for your address at checkout. Optional import-duty coverage is separate from local VAT and other taxes.
